2015: Boko Haram Banned Election From Holding In Captured Territory by tochukwuifeduba: 7:24am On Nov 08, 2014
2015: Boko Haram banned Election from holding in captured Territory.

"The Nigerian media is reporting that Boko Haram is firmly in control of Mubi, a strategically important town in Adamawa state. Apparently based on telephone contact with city residents and a few interviews with those who have fled, the media is presenting a Boko Haram effort to return the city to normal, albeit run according to Islamic law.

Boko Haram “leaders” in the city, not further identified, are urging residents who have fled to return. They have also ordered shops to reopen. A gasoline station has reopened in the neighboring town of Uba, and Boko Haram provided security for the weekly market in Mubi last week. There are reports that Boko Haram is paying for anything they take from the shops. The same “leaders” are also saying that residents are free to come and go and may use motorcycles, the use of which is banned in some parts of Adamawa still controlled by the government. Boko Haram is promising to provide residents with “security.”

On the other hand, the media is also reporting that residents continue to flee.
Boko Haram has renamed Mubi Madinatul Islam, “the city of Islam and peace.” Residents report that there are checkpoints everywhere.
One resident is reported in the media as saying that the INSURGENTS HAVE WARNED AGAINST ANY ATTEMPT TO HOLD AN ELECTION IN THE STATE, AND THAT BOKO HARAM WOULD CAPTURE THE WHOLE STATE IN NO DISTANT TIME"

Meanwhile, military sources say that their efforts to retake Mubi continue.
Media documentation of what Boko Haram is doing in Mubi is thin. But, if it is an accurate reflection, it may be a reflection of the direction in which Boko Haram is moving. Boko Haram’s focus appears now to be on the acquisition of territory, including the entire state of Adamawa. It also appears to be moving in the direction of providing services, especially security for the residents in the territories it controls. It remains to be seen whether residents who have fled Mubi and Uba will start to return. Boko Haram’s leadership remains as shadowy as ever.

The longer boko haram stays in a town unchallenged by nigeria military ,the harder it will be to degrade,defeat and dislodge them. If care isn't taken boko haram will carve out a territory out of nigeria .

yes exactly my point,boko haram is DOING it BUT haven't DONE it yet. The nigeria government and military needs to disrupt the process of doing it . They can't just allow a rebel movement to feel comfortable within the nigeria territory. Although I think the fg has purposely scaled down it offensive against boko haram because of the up coming elections

From the way things are going now, it looks likely that elections will not hold in five boko haram states. The implication is that gej is most likely going win the next election. Perhaps, that inform the recent call by apc for the president to resign.

but boko haram doesn't control 5 states ,looking at the map I think boko haram controls towns which are very close to the border with cameroon. They have been careful not to penetrate too deep . So the question I have is , if elections doesn't hold in these local governments ,will it invalidate the whole results for that state?
